Alpinestars Clothing

I am fortunate that I have never had to test the effectiveness of hip protectors (or knee protectors for that matter) but felt it prudent to have them rather than not. Unfortunately, they do not come with the Alpinestars jacket I bought and cost another (circa) £18.99 on top but what price the cost of a hip replacement or injury? Four stars because of this additional cost and not having proved their worth.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these waterproof and protective trousers but was a little disappointed that I had to pay (circa) another £18 for the hip protectors and feel these should be included in the price (which isn't cheap). I did find that they are slightly small at 4XL but managed to do them up by breathing in and contracting my belly muscles. The braces are a good addition as I can never get a belt to keep my trousers up and these trousers also zip to my Alpinestars matching jacket to provide an integrated garment. The ability to open up the leg bottoms to go over my boots is also useful and will prevent rain from running down into them. There are air vents to allow cooling but removing the thermal lining is probably enough for me when the temperatures are high. All-in-all, a good pair of motorcycle trousers for inclement weather and well recommended

As always, great products at great prices.

Fast delivery.

All fine the right one a bit hard to get on, but I am sure once broken in will be ok. Both feet comfy once on. Simple method of securing boot gets my approval as well.

Super comfortable pants, straight out of the box and the perfect fit. Wish I’d bought these leathers sooner for comfort and confidence while riding. Excellent service from SBS once again.

I found the Knee Protector that came with the jeans to be OK, but not very flexible when off the bike. So I got the nucleon flex and they fitted into the jeans perfectly, much more flexible and still level 2 rated, so very happy with them.
